Abstract

The reconstruction of a warm inflationary universe model from the scalar spectral index nS(N)n_S(N) and the tensor to scalar ratio r(N)r(N) as a function of the number of e-folds NN is studied. Under a general formalism we find the effective potential and the dissipative coefficient in terms of the cosmological parameters nSn_S and rr considering the weak and strong dissipative stages under the slow roll approximation. As a specific example, we study the attractors for the index nSn_S given by nS1N1n_{S}-1\propto N^{-1} and for the ratio rN2r\propto N^{-2}, in order to reconstruct the model of warm inflation. Here, expressions for the effective potential V(ϕ)V(\phi) and the dissipation coefficient Γ(ϕ)\Gamma(\phi) are obtained.
